ProTools is the only host on the Mac that doesn't use the standard drag and drop technique. That's why only the proprietary sampler from Digi can drag and drop samples from the sequencer. ProTools is a very closed world and Digi really makes everything possible to keep it that way.

... yes, it feels like an ivory tower. At least an ivory tower that doesn't do offline bouncing, freezing or more than 32 mono tracks. Maybe not ivory, then, perhaps tupperware.

Ladies and Gentlemen, YOUR TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR INVESTMENT!

Not only does it record and playback MIDI and Audio, but it also stores your food!

Dang, methinks Is just revealed where I gets me flingin' poo-ammo from.

Aw, c'mon; I said "please".... Ouch! That hurt!
OK, OK. There's a stinkin' pile o' ammo... ugh... sorry.

Pro Tools keeps my tuna/sweetcorn/mayo sandwiches far fresher than Nuendo. And it's so airtight, foraging simians will never find it.

I hear you on that. It's just too bad that two weeks ago digidesign announced their sampler and I got a demo from our local dealer in the mail today. It's just a beta version, but at least they've been delivering on their promises.

Say what you will about Digidesign and all their •••• they pull as a company, but I haven't been lied to by them.

When I worked at an MI shop I was told by MOTU (I directly talked with the company) that it would flawlessly import ALL Giga, Symphonic, and Ethno. Well, I quit and started working at a studio. I bought M5 remembering how cool it looked. Well, I had Giga on a dedicated PC and I installed M5. Nope, doesn't import the giga samples at all. Not a single one. Next tried Symphonic. Nope. Not a single one. And Ethno? Nope. Not even close to importing it. Oh, why is this? Because they only updated the newest version on mac. And I'm sure not going to spend the extra money to buy the mac version since we have nothing but Intel macs.

I wasted a lot of money buying Symphonic, Mach Five and Ethno and have had great luck using Symphonic and Ethno on the intel's doing scratch parts for string ensambles and the such, but that's not why I bought them.

Please Motu? At least update the PC version just enough so I can create samples from Symphonic and Ethno. Pretty please?

Mach Five looked so cool when I used it in standalone mode. I just want to be able to, well, use it in a professional setting. Please?

well currently my Mach 5, operating on an Intel chip (that's been out for over a year), doesn't work quite as well as that Fridge.

The Fridge is definitely more useful!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry if my post came off as negative. I love motu, and I can't wait for MACH 5 2!

From what I've heard, they may not lie to you, but they won't tell you the whole truth either.

No, but supposedly the drive cooling system is pretty good.

Hmmm, centrifugal freeze-drying and storage all rolled into one.
